  • Emotion Regulation Tactics

    Open AccessDerek M Isaacowitz, Anthony T Lee et al.ARTICLEEmotion Review2024

    Older adults report high emotional well-being, but age-comparative studies of emotion regulation strategies have not identified systematic age differences. We propose that emotion regulation tactics may be more promising. Emotion regulation tactics involve strategy implementation in a specific situation, and have features shared across strategies involving positive or negative elements (objects/thoughts) in the environment that may be approached …

  • Confederate Citadel

    Open AccessWilliam C DavisARTICLEJournal of American History2022

    While Mary A. DeCredico does not explicitly state her objective in this overview of the story of Richmond, Virginia, as capital of the Confederacy, she clearly does not intend this brief—151 pages of text—work to be assumed to be exhaustive. Rather, the book touches on many topics, illustrating them by extensive use of quotations from contemporary sources. Readers will not find here the detail of other works by Ernest B. Furgurson or Stephen V. A…

  • Creating a Military Image

    William C DavisARTICLEOAH Magazine of History2009

    Of the many eternal questions that surround Abraham Lincoln, surely one of the most pertinent must be the matter of how this civilian, unschooled and inexperienced in war, managed to build and then successfully lead the largest military establishment yet seen on the planet. How did he create an army from virtually nothing, and having done that, how did he keep men volunteering in their hundreds of thousands year after weary year, and sustain thei…

    Robert E May, William C DavisARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History2003

    William C. Davis's biography of Robert Barnwell Rhett provides a definitive picture of South Carolina's most prominent secessionist and arguably the best known in the nation during the two decades leading up to the Civil War. Dubbed the Father of Secession, Rhett attached himself to South Carolina statesman John C. Calhoun, but grew more zealous than his mentor on the secession issue. Rhett first raised the possibility of secession in 1826, well …

  • The Union That Shaped the Confederacy

    Christopher Olsen, Christopher J Olsen et al.ARTICLEJournal of American History2002

    One of the most gifted and prolific historians of the Civil War era, William C. Davis deservedly earned praise for his recent study of Jefferson Davis. Now, in this “biography of a friendship,” he examines two of President Davis's most severe critics. These powerful Georgians and close friends for over forty years helped create the Confederacy in Montgomery. But they quickly lost faith in Davis and, like many others, turned against his administra…

  • Lincoln's Men

    Roger A Fischer, William C DavisARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History2000

    LINCOLN'S MEN offers a fascinating account of the emotional bonds forged between the average Union soldier and 'Father Abraham' Lincoln. William C. Davis bases his study on the correspondence and diaries of Union soldiers to argue that Lincoln was revered by his troops as a kind-hearted father figure. Although few ever met, or even saw Lincoln, he left an enduring impression on them as his mesmerising eloquence, combined with his melancholy face,…

    Open AccessWilliam C DavisARTICLEReligious Studies1992

    From at least the time of the writing of The Philosophical Fragments , Søren Kierkegaard's work takes a special interest in both the transition from unbelief to faith and the character of the life of true faith. Trained in Lutheran dogma and convinced of the radical nature of human freedom, his work on this subject demonstrates a profound concern for and grasp of Lutheran orthodoxy, as well as a remarkable degree of subtlety. After all, it is no …
